A member asked:
Had c diff 6wks ago from antiobio. now must take antibio again for sinus infection. which is likely to be gentlest and could i use local, inhaled one?

Sinusitis: It is often unnecessary to use antibiotics to treat acute sinusitis. Try using saline irrigation with a Neti-pot, decongestants (Afrin nasal spray, oral Sudafed, etc.), possibly nasal steroid spray and/or anti-allergy meds. Try to stay away from antibiotics when the complications can be worse than the original problem.
